Now open in Ward 28, George

Medical care shouldn’t wait for money.

4Help supports families in Ward 28 who cannot afford medical care for their elderly relatives and their children. Send us the medical account. We look at your circumstances and work with the medical practitioner to resolve it, where we can.

Starting in Ward 28. Growing across George.

Stronger People. Healthier Communities.

Why we started

No family should have to choose between the bill and the treatment.

A grandparent needs treatment. A child needs a specialist. The money simply isn’t there.

Care gets delayed or given up on. The family carries the stress and trauma of watching someone they love suffer, when help should have been within reach.

4Help exists to close that gap.

How it works

Four steps, from first contact to a resolved account.

  1. Register

    Contact 4Help and tell us about your family and the medical need.

  2. Send the account

    Send the medical account to 4Help.

  3. We assess

    We look at your family’s circumstances, case by case.

  4. We speak to the practitioner

    Where assistance is approved, 4Help works with the medical practitioner to resolve the account.

What 4Help does

  • Takes in your medical accounts
  • Assesses each family’s circumstances
  • Works directly with the medical practitioner

What 4Help does not do

  • Hand out cash to families
  • Take the place of your own effort

A partnership. Families do what they can. 4Help steps in where the load is too heavy to carry alone.

Questions

Good to know before you register.

Does 4Help give families money?

No. 4Help does not hand out cash. Medical accounts are sent to 4Help, each case is assessed, and where assistance is approved we work with the medical practitioner to resolve the account.

Who can register?

Families in Ward 28 on a lower income who have a senior citizen or a child needing medical assistance and cannot afford the cost.

Will 4Help pay every account?

Each case is assessed on the family’s circumstances, and assistance is given where we can. Families are expected to do what they can for themselves.

Is my information safe?

Yes. Information families share is treated confidentially and handled in line with POPIA.

Is 4Help only for Ward 28?

We are starting in Ward 28. As the programme grows, it will be rolled out to the rest of George.
